Substance Misuse Among Medical Students, Resident Physicians, and Fellow Physicians: A Review With Focus on the United States' Population.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Substance misuse among medical trainees is a serious ongoing concern. The goal of this review is to describe the contributing factors leading to substance misuse among medical trainees, the consequences for those with substance misuse issues, and explore potential interventions and policy changes to address the issue. There are demographic characteristics that contribute to a higher likelihood of substance misuse including race, sex, relationship status, and year of training. Loss of training position, legal consequences, medical errors, and premature death are some of the negative effects more likely for those with substance use issues. There is a lack of clarity regarding institutional substance use policies and implementation of standardized, evidence-based policies is limited. There are many barriers preventing those with substance use issues from seeking care. Educational sessions targeted at recognizing signs of substance misuse and identification of resources have shown efficacy, while spiritual health support may be an effective area of intervention. There are many factors perpetuating substance misuse among this population. Strategies to address this issue should target improving the utilization of resources, updating institutional policies, and supporting spiritual health.
